You should throw it to the air and give it your best shot with a baseball bat. ;D
Seriously, I would gladly take it to my collection. ;)

Yeah Honkbal is Dutch for Baseball as you may have guessed ;)

A "honk" is more or less "home" in Dutch (although rarely used in that sense). Sometimes people say someone is "Honk vast" which means he's tending to stay at one place/home/job etc. So that explains the Dutch name....

Béla, do you want me to ship it before or after that home run ?  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

If you want it it's yours !

Some instructions for play:

"Ann/Pauze" = Cancel/Pause

"Nieuw spel" = New Game

Yes, it looks very similar to the Nintendo micro VS Game & Watch games.
